This would probably be illegal in many countries. I posted about this practice a few years ago on another (non-animal) forum.
The problem is that China still does not have any animal welfare laws. Until such laws are passed, and/or public awareness of animal cruelty increases greatly, the prospects are not good, sadly to say. These appalling keyrings are sold by street corner vendors to ordinary Chinese people, who seem to think it amusing or original to watch a baby creature struggling in a tiny plastic bag.
